New Book: The Mother of Mohammed

The Mother of Mohammed

An Australian Woman’s Extraordinary Journey into Jihad

Book Description:

Born and raised in Mudgee, New South Wales, Rabiah Hutchinson seems an unlikely jihadist. But this former country girl turned marijuana-smoking beach bunny and hippy backpacker is a veteran of the global holy war. To Western intelligence analysts she is ‘the matriarch of radical Islam’. Hutchinson spent four years working as a doctor in a mujahideen hospital and orphanage on the Pakistan-Afghanistan border in the early 1990s. She later returned to Afghanistan under the Taliban and married a leading al-Qaeda ideologue and member of Osama bin Laden’s inner circle. Her fellow jihadists know her as ‘Umm Mohammed’, meaning the mother of Mohammed. Today Rabiah Hutchinson is one of the most watched women in the world. She believes she’s under 24-hour surveillance, her home and telephone bugged. She is officially designated as ‘a threat to national security’, and prevented from travelling abroad. So who is this mysterious black-veiled woman, with the broad Australian accent and fiery Scottish temperament? This is Rabiah Hutchinson’s story.

Cageprisoners Questions The ‘Suicide’ of Ibn al-Sheikh al-Libi

Cageprisoners Questions The ‘Suicide’ of Ibn al-Sheikh al-Libi

PRESS RELEASE

11th May 2009

Cageprisoners questions a disturbing report, as yet unconfirmed, that Ali Mohamed Al-Fakheri, otherwise known as Ibn al-Sheikh al-Libi, committed ‘suicide’ while detained in a Libyan prison. No further details have been revealed although it is known that Al-Libi was extremely ill and suffering from tuberculosis and diabetes and had endured torture in the year that he was detained as part of the ‘High Value Detainee Program.’

Ibn al-Sheikh al-Libi had never been charged with a crime by the US and was summarily sentenced to life imprisonment in Libya. Given the well-documented abuse of prisoners in Libya, it is highly probable that his abuse would have continued during his proxy detention.
Cageprisoners demands that the US and Libyan authorities disclose full details of his detention and the circumstances of his suspicious death.

Cageprisoners’ Director and former Guantanamo detainee, Moazzam Begg, said:

“The case of Ibn al-Sheikh al-Libi – the man whose tortured testimony was used to justify a war that cost the lives of tens of thousands of people and, ironically, indirectly led to the pre-trial detention of thousands more – should serve as a stark reminder of what happens when torture is applied to gain information. President Obama has recently granted immunity to CIA agents who may well have been involved in Al-Libi’s interrogation and torture. If the desire to get at what went wrong is so blatantly covered up under colour of incongruous ‘national security concerns’ there will be no end to this. And once again, the warmongers will get away with another odious and criminal cover-up.

The US administration has proposed transferring prisoners at Guantanamo Bay to their countries of origin through the use of Memoranda of Understanding. Al-Libi’s case highlights deporting individuals to countries with a record of torture is unlawful and a clear violation of the rule against torture. Diplomatic assurances have no legal value and thus cannot be relied on to protect detainees from abuse.

Cageprisoners is a human rights organisation that exists to raise awareness of the plight of the prisoners at Guantanamo Bay and other detainees held as part of the War on Terror. We aim to give a voice to the voiceless.

To the cross worshipper

 

Benedict, the 16th;

Your house is glassy, so don’t throw people with stones

 

All praise is due to Allâh,

Who has begotten no son (children or offspring) and for Whom there is no partner in the dominion. He has created everything, and has measured it exactly according to its due measurements. [1]

And peace and blessings be upon the last Messenger who said, “By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, no Jew or Christian hears of me, and then does not believe in me except that he is from the people of the Fire.” [2]

 

As for what follows:

 

With the visit of the Vatican’s pope to our area in a few days, we are not able to stay silent or close our eyes or overlook what this man has uttered of falsehood, lying and slander upon our Religion and Prophet, Peace be upon Him, or to the fabrications that leaked out of his impure vessel (his mind), a vessel that wouldn’t be purified even if it was washed seven times, once with dust!

May Allah guide our hearts to do good

April 12th, 2009, muwahidah

Ibn al-Qayyim rahimahullah said:

 

“Those who have knowledge of Allah agreed, that the sins of seclusion are the reasons for a persons downfall, and the hidden good deeds are the reasons for steadfastness.”

Music

April 8th, 2009, muwahidah

I had to take a public buss the other day to visit someone, and the driver had music on as most of them do may Allah guide them. subhanallah it was a long ride and theres not much you can do to avoid the music. my ears caught a few words of the songs and i was like subhanallah how stupid it sounds!

why do people commit so many sins by listening to music and in the end its just lame?? im not saying that its ok if the song has meanings but seriously most of the songs these days have absolutly no meaning and its just filthy.

subhanallah i wonder what the muslims who listen to these songs benefit from them. its just sins that as muslims cant say ‘oh i feel that, i understand that’! 

as muslims we have nothing in common with these kuffar that sing about nothing but sins. its either about drugs, gangs, love, haram relationships etc.. how can a muslim listen to something like that when it doesnt even describe their lifestyle? i know sadly many muslims have become like kuffar, but im in a muslim country..what can they have in common with those singers?

while i was on the bus this girl was sitting with her boyfriend and they were flirting openly in front of everyone and playing around.. she hears a song about love and builds this dream in her head with her boyfriend whos just using her and playing with her cuz hes bored..!!

Allaah says in Soorat Luqmaan (interpretation of the meaning):

 “And of mankind is he who purchases idle talks (i.e. music, singing) to mislead (men) from the path of Allaah…” [Luqmaan 31:6]

And in another verse Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

 “[Allaah said to Iblees:] And befool them gradually those whom you can among them with your voice (i.e. songs, music, and any other call for Allaah’s disobedience)…” [al-Israa’ 17:64]

Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):

 “Do you then wonder at this recitation (the Qur’aan)?

And you laugh at it and weep not,

Wasting your (precious) lifetime in pastime and amusements (singing)”

[al-Najm 53:59-61]

From the hadith The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:

 “Among my ummah there will certainly be people who permit zinaa, silk, alcohol and musical instruments…” (Narrated by al-Bukhaari ta’leeqan, no. 5590; narrated as mawsool by al-Tabaraani and al-Bayhaqi. See al-Silsilah al-Saheehah by al-Albaani, 91).

the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him & give him peace) said: “Song makes hypocrisy grow in the heart as water does herbage.” (Sunan al-Bayhaqi)

the punishment for music is:

the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him & give peace) said: “On the day of Resurrection, Allah will pour molten lead into the ears of whoever sits listening to a songstress.” (Recorded by Ibn Asakir & Ibn al-Misri)

 

Envy – a disease in the hearts

March 30th, 2009, muwahidah

Envy – a disease in the hearts

 

Hasad (envy) is sadly something very widespread in this ummah. The same thing is people hitting others by the evil eye whether on purpose or not. We live in a time where people envy you for everything you own subhanallah. Whether what you have is something that’s worthy or has no worth at all.   

 

Subhanallah having envy of someone else property or life is such an ugly thing. Wallaahi how many people have we seen affected by hasad. Wether they lose their job because of it, get divorced, loosing a child etc. the prophet saws said “al ayn haqq” (the evil eye is true). And it happens a lot. So many sisters fear telling anybody if they get engaged because of the envy we see. If someone gets married, gets a new car or whatever he gets. Why cant muslims just say mashallaah and be happy for their brothers and sisters and what Allah have blessed them with. Your rizq is written and you will get whats written for you, no need to envy what others get subhanallah.

 

On the authority of Abu Huraira (ra) who said: The Messenger of Allah (saw) said

 

Do not be envious of one another; do not artificially raise prices against one another; do not hate one another; do not turn one’s back on each other; and do not undercut one another in business transactions. And be, [O] servants of Allah, brethren. A Muslim is the brother of a Muslim. He does not wrong him. He does not fail him [when he needs him]. He does not lie to him. And he does not show contempt for him. Piety is here”

 

This disease of the heart and the sin which is known as hasad was one of the first sins ever committed. It was one of the main things that drove Satan away from Allaah. In fact, two aspects drove Satan to the situation that he is in today: pride and envy.

 

The Messenger of Allah (saw) said, “Iman and hasad do not gather in the heart of a slave (of Allaah)”.

[Recorded by al-Nasai. According to al-Albani, it is sahih. See al-Albani, Sahih al-Jami, vol. 2, p. 1262

 

Another thing ive seen is that people dislike it when others experience something good, having good characters, getting blessings etc. how many times have I seen that when someone gets these good things no one likes to say anything good, expressing joy, giving compliments. Why is it so hard to give your brother and sister a good compliment and make them feel that your happy on their behalf?

 

Subhanallah but when something bad happens or they see mistakes of a person everyone is soo quick to jump and give negative comments and point at their mistakes etc.

 

Subhanallah why cant we practice the hadith that says: “None of you is a believer until he loves for his brother (his fellow Muslims) what he loves for himself.” (Sahih Muslim)

Who are your friends?

March 28th, 2009, muwahidah

The Messenger of Allah said:

“A person is upon the way of his friend. So, let one of you look to whom he keeps as a friend.”

['Sahih al-Jami'' (3545) and 'as-Silsilah as-Sahihah' (927)]

Ibn Qudamah al-Maqdisi said:

“Know that not everyone is suitable to be your friend. You must verify that this potential friend has the neccessary characteristics that make friendship with him something to be desired. The one you seek to befriend must have five characteristics:

* He must be intelligent, as there is no good in befriending an idiot, as he will only harm you when he wants to benefit you. By intelligent, we mean one who understands things as they are, either on his own, or if they are explained to him;

* He must have good manners, and this is a must. One who is simply intelligent might be overcome by anger or desire, and obey his desire. Thus, there would be no benefit in befriending him;

* He must not be a fasiq, as such a person would not fear Allah, and whoever does not fear Allah cannot be trusted;

* He must not be an innovator, as his abundance of innovation is feared from befriending him;

* He should not be eager for the dunya.”


['Mukhtasar Minhaj al-Qasidin'; p. 126-132]

How would you react?

March 25th, 2009, muwahidah

yesterday i was reading a story on one of the arabic forums for sisters and i came across a story that was a bit shocking..

a sister came into the room while her husband was on one of the dirty sites!! how would you expect her reaction to be? this sister didnt do anything, she just smiled and walked out of the room..

the husband was in complete shock he sat down crying he knew he had mistaken and said he had low iman at that point. he was in so much shock that when his wife entered the room he couldnt even close down the site!!

while he was sitting there crying and trying to figure out what to say she came into the room, but wearing her wedding dress!!! and had fixed herself up for him.. she took his hand and walked with him to the bedroom!!

the husband said her action made him come closer to Allah and make sincere tawbah!

now if that was me i think i would have gone crazy!!!
